Q: Hi,
We have owned PHO for many years and I was planning on adding it. However over the past 5 years it has been rather choppy and not as consistent compared to xylem. Should we stay with PHO or switch into a different water stock? If you were me what would be your top choice in this sector? Looking for growth and consistency with 10 year plus time frame. Thanks

Q: Hello team,

What would you suggest for water and solar themes. I have looked at XYL and SolarEdge (SEDG). I am looking for GREAT companies with low debt and good management and positive shareholder history. What do you think of these two companies. I welcome any other suggestion you might have for better plays out there and for a very long term hold.

Thanks a lot as always for your great work.

Q: HI Team,
I am looking to put some speculative money into the water space. I have been watching HEO.V and I have recently found WATR.V that I am keeping an eye on. Would you recommend focusing on HEO for any particular reason? I am considering taking a 2% position in HEO and 1% WATR. Any other micro cap names in this space that you would consider or replace WATR with? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
I intended on holding (PUR and AVO) for the long term but cannot due to their being taken over by XYL and MSI. These acquisitions will mean a cash infusion and I'm wondering whether a purchase of the acquiring companies is sensible. What is your opinion of these US companies (it is understood that they are not your focus but I respect and appreciate your opinion)

Thanks

Q: I have noticed in several of your Q&A responses that you "like the water theme". Can you please elaborate on what it is that you like about this space. What Canadian equities would you recommend adding to a TFSA for some exposure in this sector and why?

Thanks for your great services this year!
